Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

It's not warm when she's away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And she's always gone too long

Anytime she's goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone

Wonder if she's gone to stay

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And this house just ain't no home

Anytime she goes away

And I know, I know, I know, I know

Hey I oughta leave young thing alone

But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, woh woh

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Only darkness every day

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And this house just ain't no home

Anytime she goes away x3

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah

Your head will collapse

But there's nothing in it

And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Way out in the water

See it swimming

I was swimming in the Caribbean

Animals were hiding behind the rock

Except the little fish

Bump into me, swear he's

Tryin' a talk to me, say he’s a coy coi

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Way out in the water

See it swimming

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah

Your head will collapse

If there's nothing in it

And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Way out in the water

See it swimming

She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him

Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in,

And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay,

She's answered by the tail lights shining through the window pane

G-D (A)

He said I wanna see you again. But I'm stuck in colder weather

Maybe tomorrow will be better. Can I call you then

(CB)She said you're ramblin' man. You ain't ever gonna change

You gotta gypsy soul to blame. And you were born for leavin'

At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln,

The night as black as the coffee he was drinkin',

And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same 'ol light shinin',

He thinks of Colorado

And the girl he left behind him

[Chorus] GO!

Em-D/F#-A-Bm-G-D/F#-A  G-D (A)

Well, it's a winding road When you're in the lost and found

You're a lover, I'm a runner And we go 'round 'n 'round

And I love you but I leave you I don't want you but I need you

You know it's you who calls me back here, baby (VOCAL BREAK)

G G D   G G D   G G D   A

[Chorus]

(N.C.) And when I close my eyes I see you

No matter where I am 

I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines

I'm with your ghost again

It's a shame about the weather

I know soon we'll be together

And I can't wait till then

I can't wait till then

How many special people change? How many lives are livin' strange?

Where were you while we were getting high?

Slowly walkin' down the hall Faster than a cannonball

Where were you while we were getting high?

Someday you will find me Caught beneath the landslide

In a champagne supernova in the sky

Someday you will find me Caught beneath the landslide

In a champagne supernova

A champagne supernova in the sky

Wake up the dawn and ask her why A dreamer dreams she never dies

Wipe that tear away now from your eye

Slowly walkin' down the hall Faster than a cannonball

Where were you while we were getting high?

CHORUS

'Cause people believe That they're gonna get away for the summer

But you and I, we live and die The world's still spinnin' 'round, we don't know why

Why, why, why, why

How many special people change? How many lives are livin' strange?

Where were you while we were getting high? 

Slowly walkin' down the hall Faster than a cannonball

Where were you while we were getting high?

CHORUS

A D (G-A riff)

Been working so hard. I'm punching my card

Eight hours, for what? Oh, tell me what I got

I gotten this feeling That time's just holding me down

I'll hit the ceiling Or else I'll tear up this town

Tonight I gotta cut loose, footloose. Kick off your Sunday shoes

Please, Louise. Pull me up off my knees

Jack, get back. C'mon, before we crack

Lose your blues. Everybody cut footloose

You're playing so cool Obeying every rule

Dig way down in your heart. You're burning, yearning for some

Somebody to tell you. That life ain't passing you by

I'm trying to tell you It will if you don't even try

So cut loose, footloose Kick off your Sunday shoes

Ooh-wee, Marie Shake it, shake it for me

Whoa, Milo C'mon, c'mon let's go

Lose your blues Everybody cut footloose

So come on turn me around. 

You put your feet on the ground

Now take a hold of your soul

I'm turning it loose, footloose Kick off your Sunday shoes

Please, Louise Pull me up off my knees

Jack, get back C'mon, before we crack

Lose your blues Everybody cut footloose

Everybody cut everybod cut…x3

Everybody footloose

Capo 2 - D A G/DADG

It was seven hundred fence posts from your place to ours

Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car

Sometimes it was rainin', sometimes it would shine

We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine

I'd start walkin' your way, you'd start walkin' mine

We'd meet in the middle, 'neath that old Georgia pine

We'd gain a lot of ground, 'cause we'd both give a little

There ain't no road too long, when we meet in the middle

It's been seven years, tomorrow, since we said our vows

Under that old pine tree, you ought to see it now

Standin' in the backyard, remindin' me and you

That if we don't see eye-to-eye, there's somethin' we can do

CHORUS

Babe, I love the way we work it out

That's what love is all about

CHORUS

G C G D

The longest train I ever saw Went down that Georgia line

The engine passed at six o'clock And the cab passed by at nine

In the pines, in the pines Where the sun never shines

And we shiver when the cold wind blows

Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hoo

I asked my captain for the time of day

He said he throwed his watch away

A long steel rail and a short cross tie

I'm on my way back home

CHORUS

Little girl, little girl, what have I done

That makes you treat me so?

You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn

You caused me to leave my home

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And we shiver when the cold wind blows

Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hoo

3 7 8 8m

When you were here before

Couldn't look you in the eye

You're just like an angel

Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather

In a beautiful world

I wish I was special

You're so fuckin' special

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doin' here?

I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts

I wanna have control

I want a perfect body

I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice

When I'm not around

So fuckin' special

I wish I was special

Chorus

She's running out the door (run)

She's running out

She run, run, run, run

Run

Whatever makes you happy

Whatever you want

You're so fuckin' special

I wish I was special

Chorus

F C D A#

It must be your skin, I'm sinkin' in

It must be for real, 'cause now I can feel

And I didn't mind, it's not my kind

It's not my time, to wonder why

Everything gone white, everything's grey

Now you're here, now you're away

I don't want this, remember that

I'll never forget, where you're at

Don't let the days go by

Glycerine, glycerine

I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time

Are you at one, or do you lie

We live in a wheel, where everyone steals

But when we rise, it's like strawberry fields

If I treated you bad, you'd bruise my face

Couldn't love you more, you've got a beautiful taste

Don't let the days go by

Could have been easier on you

I couldn't change though I wanted to

Should have been easier by three

Our old friend fear and you and me

Glycerine, glycerine (REPEAT)

DA#

Bad moon whine again

Bad moon whine again

As she falls around me

I needed you more, we wanted us less

Could not kiss, just regress

It might just be clear, simple, and plain

Well that's just fine, that's just one of my names

CHORUS

E A B E | E A B

When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be 

I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you

When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be 

I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be 

I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you

And if I haver, hey, I know I'm gonna be 

I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk five hundred miles

And I would walk five hundred more

Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles

To fall down at your door

When I'm working, yes, I know I'm gonna be 

I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you

And when the money comes in for the work I do 

I'll pass almost every penny on to you

When I come home (When I come home), oh, I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you

And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

CHORUS

Da lat da (Da lat da) x2

When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you

And when I'm dreaming, well, I know I'm gonna dream

I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you

When I go out (When I go out), well, I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

And when I come home (When I come home), yes, I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you

I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you

CHORUS

Da lat da (Da lat da) x2

CHORUS

Don't push me out Just a little longer

Stall your mother Disregard your father's words

Close the laundry door Tiptoe across the floor

Keep your clothes on I've got all that I can take

Teach me how to use The love that people say you made

Stop your parents' car I just saw a shooting star

We can wish upon it We won't share the wish we made

But I can't keep no secrets I wish that you would always stay

Last night I dreamt the whole night long I woke with a head full of songs

I spent the whole day I wrote 'em down, but it's a shame

Tonight I'll burn the lyrics 'Cause every chorus was your name

Break this tired old routine (Break this tired old routine)

And this time don't make me leave (And this time don't make me leave)

I am a breathing time machine (I am a breathing time machine)

I'll take you all for a ride (I'll take you all)

I am a breathing time machine (I am a breathing time machine)

I'll take you all for a ride (I'll take you all for a ride)

Break this tired old routine (I am a breathing time machine)

And this time don't make me leave (Leave)

Open D - Capo 2

[Verse 1]

It's empty in the valley of your heart. The sun, it rises slowly as you walk. 

Away from all the fearsAnd all the faults you've left behind

The harvest left no food for you to eat You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see

But I have seen the same I know the shame in your defeat

But I will hold on hope And I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again

'Cause I have other things to fill my time You take what is yours and I'll take mine

Now let me at the truth Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears 

(I can see) widows and orphans through my tears

(I know my call) despite my faults And despite my growing fears

CHORUS

So come out of your cave walking on your hands And see the world hanging upside down

(You can understand) dependence When you know the maker's land

So make your siren's call And sing all you want

I will not hear what you have to say 'Cause I need freedom now

And I need to know how To live my life as it's meant to be

CHORUS

Capo 5 | A-D-D-A-E

She's a good girl, loves her mama 

Loves Jesus and America, too

She's a good girl, who's crazy 'bout Elvis 

Loves horses, and her boyfriend too

And it's a long day livin' in Reseda 

There's a freeway runnin' through the yard

And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her 

I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

Now I'm free Free fallin'. Yeah, I'm free Free fallin'

Now all the vampires walkin' through the Valley 

Move west down Ventura boulevard

And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows 

And the good girls are home with broken hearts

Now I'm free Free fallin'. Yeah, I'm free Free fallin'

I wanna glide down over Mulholland

I wanna write her name in the sky

I'm gonna free fall out into nothin'

Gonna leave this world for awhile

Now I'm free Free fallin'. Yeah, I'm free Free fallin'

C E 

We chase misprinted lies

We face the path of time

And yet I fight, and yet I fight

This battle all alone

No one to cry to

No place to call home

My gift of self is raped

My privacy is raked

And yet I find, and yet I find

Repeating in my head

If I can't be my own

I'd feel better dead

94 BPM

You've got your hair permed

You've got your red dress on

Screamin' that second gear was such a turn on

And the fog forming on my window tells me that the morning's here

And you'll be gone before too long

Who taught you those new tricks?

Damn I shouldn't start that talk,

But life is one big question when your starin' at the clock

And the answers always waiting at the liquor store, forty ounce to freedom

So I take that walk

And I know that oh, I'm not comin' back

Oh not going back

Oh God knows not going back

Oh not goin'

And you look so fine, when you lie, it just don't show,

But I know which way the wind blows

A forty ounce to freedom is the only chance I have to feel good

Even though I feel bad

Chorus

E A Blues

Well, my momma met my daddy down in Alabama

They tied the knot so here I am

Born on the bayou on the Texas Line

Loved in Louisiana and raised on Jambalaya

Now before I could walk, I had a guitar in my hand

By the time I could talk, I had my own band

I went on the road when I was eight years old

When I turned fifteen, I was stealing the show

Money to burn and the girls were pretty

It didn't take me long to learn that I was born to boogie

When I was eighteen, I went to Hollywood

I met Elvis, Marilyn and Johnny B. Goode

Got my guitar painted to dance the California Sun

A red Cadillac having to much fun

Now we were playing them halls and jammin'

Then back we moved it on over to M.G.M.

They said, "This is the boy we've been telling you about"

He lit a cigar and stuck his hand out

He said, "Son have, we got a deal for you"

"I'm gonna make you a star, give you fifty thousand, too"

I told him my momma didn't raise no fool

I'll take your money, I'll make you a movie

But I can tell ya right now, I was born to boogie

Well, my name is Bocephus, I drink a whiskey by the gallon

And I never back down and I love a good challenge

What I do now is what I did then

I like to get down with all my rowdy friends

Now I can be sweet and I can be mean

I still got my hat and I still wear my jeans

My shades are chrome, my guitar's steal

If you think I won't then believe me I will

Get down on you baby 'cause I ain't no rookie

I was put here to party and I was born to boogie

Open D - 9-7-5-0 | 5-7-9-12 | 4-5

'Cause I know that time has numbered my days 

And I'll go along with everything you say

But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now 

Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down

And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons 

And I know their choices colour all I've done

But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son 

I ain't ever lived a year better spent in love

'Cause I'll know my weakness, know my voice And I'll believe in grace and choice

And I know perhaps my heart is farce But I'll be born without a mask, woo

Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride 

I stretched my arms into the sky

I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now 

Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down

You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl 

As all we see will slip into the cloud

So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been 

You know our breath is weak and our body thin

Press my nose up to the glass around your heart

I should've known I was weaker from the start

You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part

To tear, tear them down

Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down

Chorus

Capo 4 E B A | Run Down

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain 

I like watching the puddles gather rain

And all I can doIs just pour some tea for two

And speak my point of view But it's not sane

It's not sane X3

I just want someone to say to me Oh, oh, oh, oh

I'll always be there when you wake, yeah, yeah

I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, hey

So stay with me and I'll have it made (I'll have it made)

And I don't understand why I sleep all day

And I start to complain that there's no rain

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape

Escape X3

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

You don't like my point of view and I'm insane

It's not sane X3

CHORUS (Repeat last line end)

D Cadd9   G              Cadd9    G

I seem to recognize your face

Haunting familiar, yet I cant seem to place it

Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name

Lifetimes are catchin' up with me

C        A               C

All these changes taking place

 A                  C

I wish i’d seen the place

   A             Em

But no-one’s ever taken me

CHORUS

D          Cadd9         G     Cadd9 G

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

D Cadd9   G              Cadd9   G

I swear I recognise your breath

Memories, like fingerprints are slowly raising

Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former

It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf

C            A               C

I changed by not changing at all

     A                C

Small town predicts my fate

  A                       Em

Perhaps that's what no one wants to see

D      Cadd9   G           Cadd9    G

I just want to scream, "hello!"

My god, it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return

But now here you are and here I am

Hearts and thoughts they fade away

CHORUS

G D C

She sits alone by a lamp post

Tryin' to find the thought that's escaped her mind

She says, "Dad's the one I love the most

But Stipe's not far behind"

She never lets me in, only tells me where she's been

When she's had too much to drink

I say that I don't care, I just run my hands through her dark hair

Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away

C G C Em C G D

And just let her cry if the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing if it eases all her pain

Let her go, let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, let her be

This morning I woke up alone, found a note standing by the phone

Sayin', "Maybe, maybe I'll be back someday"

I wanted to look for you

You walked in, I didn't know just what I should do

So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself

CHORUS

Last night I tried to leave, cried so much I could not believe

She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago

She went in the back to get high

I sat down on my couch and cried, yellin'

"Oh, mama, please help me"

Won't you hold my hand and

CHORUS 2

Jessie is a friend

Yeah, I know, he's been a good friend of mine

But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define

Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine

And she's watching him with those eyes

And she's loving him with that body, I just know it

Yeah, and he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know, I wish that I had

Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

Where can I find a woman like that?

I'll play along with the charade

There doesn't seem to be a reason to change

You know, I feel so dirty when they start talking cute

I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot

'Cause she's watching him with those eyes

And she's loving him with that body, I just know it

And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know, I wish that I had

Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

Where can I find a woman like that?

Like Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

Where can I find a woman-

Where can I find a woman like that?

And I'm looking in the mirror all the time

Wonderin' what she don't see in me

I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines

Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?

Tell me, where can I find a woman like that?

CHORUS

D G - 95 BPM

Early in the morning, risin' to the street

Light me up that cigarette and I'll strap shoes on my feet

Got to find the reason, reason things went wrong

Got to find a reason why my money's all gone

I got a Dalmatian and I can still get high

I can play the guitar like a motherfuckin' riot

Well, life is too short, so love the one you got

'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot

Never start no static, I just get it off my chest

Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest

Take a small example, take a tip from me

Take all of your money, give it all to charity

Love is what I got, it's within my reach

And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach

It all comes back to you, you're bound to get what you deserve

Try and test that, you're bound to get served

Love's what I got, don't start a riot

You'll feel it when the dance gets hot

Lovin' is what I got I said, remember that

Lovin' is what I got And remember that

Lovin' is what I got I said, remember that

Lovin' is what I got (I got, I got, I got)

Why I don't cry when my dog runs away

I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay

I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot

Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock

Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same

Living with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane

Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me

CHORUS

And I'd give up forever to touch you

'Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

And sooner or later, it's over

I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything feels like the movies

Yeah, you bleed just to know, you're alive

Chorus

Headin' down south to the land of the pines

I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline

Starin' up the road and pray to God I see headlights

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours

Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers

And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama any way you feel

Hey... mama rock me

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a southbound train

Hey... mama rock me

Runnin' from the cold up in New England

I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band

My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now

Oh, north country winters keep a-gettin' me down

Lost my money playin' poker, so I had to leave town

But I ain't a-turnin' back to livin' that old life no more

Chorus

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke

I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke

But he's a-headin' west from the Cumberland Gap

To Johnson City, Tennessee

And I gotta get a move on before the sun

I hear my baby callin' my name and I know that she's the only one

And if I died in Raleigh, at least I will die free

Chorus x2

Come out come out No use in hiding

Come now come now Can you not see?

There's no place here What were you expecting

Not room for both Just room for me

So you will lay your arms down

Yes I will call this home

Away away You have been banished

Your land is gone And given me

And here I will spread my wings

Yes I will call this home

Bm

What's this you say?

You feel a right to remain?

Then stay and I will bury you

What's that you say

Your father's spirit still lives in this place

I will silence you

Here's the hitch Your horse is leaving

Don't miss your boat It's leaving now

And as you go I will spread my wings

Yes I will call this home

Bm

I have no time to justify to you

Fool, you're blind, move aside for me

All I can say to you my new neighbor

Is you must move on or I will bury you

Now as I rest my feet by this fire Those hands once warmed here

I have retired them I can breathe my own air I can sleep more soundly

BmUpon these poor souls I'll build heaven and call it home

Cause you're all dead now

I live with my justice I live with my greedy need

I live with no mercy I live with my frenzied feeding

I live with my hatred I live with my jealousy

I live with the notion That I don't need anyone but me

Don't drink the water Don't drink the water

There's blood in the water Don't drink the water

F-C-G-Am

I could never pretend that I don't love you.

You could never pretend that I'm your man.

That's exactly the way that I want it.

That's exactly the way that I am.

And you call me in the morning with your troubles

Takin' it downtown every night

I could never place the stars at night above ya.

I got my hands on the ground,

And you know I'm right.

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

It's a coffee stained earth ever time it happens.

Liven up honey it ain't that bad.

Any afterthought rose to recognition

Like every other coffin that I had

And your Buick broke down in Winnemucca,

Fall to your knees and you pray to the lord

Then you take up hope at the politicians:

Nothing happens in this burnt out town anymore.

Chorus

And your hollows on like a frozen freight train

You know that I help you if I can

But I'm just a raindrop in a river

Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand

And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this

With all the bad habits that I've learned

But it's better than your fiber 'n fornication

And all the dirty money that you earn.

Chorus x2

G F C

This is a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue

Two young lovers with nothin' better to do

Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube

And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose

They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso

That's where they ran into a great big hassle

Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle

Bobbie Sue took the money and run

Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run

Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run

Hoo-hoo-hoo, 

billy Mack is a detective down in Texas

You know he knows just exactly what the facts is

He ain't gonna let those two escape justice

He makes his livin' off of the people's taxes

Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away

Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day

They got the money, hey, you know they got away

They headed down south and they're still running today

Singin' go on take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run

Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run

Oh lord, go on, take the money and run

Hoo-hoo-hoo

Hey, yeah, go on, take the money and run, yeah (yeah)

Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run

Oh lord, go on, take the money and run, yeah (yeah)

Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run, oh lord

That hot, old summer sun

Make you beg for your next breath

So, you best be on the creek bank

Laying in the shade

Chewing on a hickory twig

Pass that bottle, I'll have me a swig

I ain't got a lot but I think I got it made

In the shade

GDAD-GDAD

I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

Catching these fish like they're going out of style

Drinking this homemade wine

Hey, if the sun don't come up tomorrow

People, I have had a good time

I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

I bet the old man's in the kitchen

He's got my kind of music on his radio

Aah, drinking his beer and

Dialing up the request lines

Mama and old Aunt Joan probably in the

Dining room trying to use the phone

Me, I'm thinking about that girl and later tonight

Chorus

You know the rednecks and the preppies

They're in their discos and honky-tonks

Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace

Lord, I know just how they feel

You gotta get out and kick it up your heels

And ain't it great to be living in the USA

Chorus

GCD Solo

Celia, you're breaking my heart,

You're shaking my confidence daily.

Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees,

I'm begging you please to come home.

Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia

Up in my bedroom,

I got up to wash my face When I come back to bed,

Someone's taken my place.

CHORUS

Oh oh oh oh

Jubilation,

She loves me again,

I fall on the floor and I laughing

REPEAT

CHORUS

Drop D -  A/E/D - upper, d shape

A little ditty 'bout Jack & Diane

Two American kids growing up in the heart land

Jack - he's gonna be a football star

Diane - debutante in the back seat of Jacky's car

Suckin' on chilli dog outside the Tastee Freez

Diane sitting on Jacky's lap

Got his hands between her knees

Jack - he says:

"Hey, Diane, let's run off behind a shady tree

Dribble off those bobby brooks

Let me do what I please."

Saying oh yeah

Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone

Sayin' oh yeah

Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone

Now walk on

Jack - he sits back, collects his thoughts for a moment

Scratches his head, and does his best James Dean

Well, now then, there, Diane, we ought to run off to the city

Diane says:

"Baby, you ain't missing nothing."

But Jack - he says:

CHORUS

Oh, let it rock, let it roll

Let the bible belt come and save my soul

Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can

Change is coming 'round real soon

Make us woman and man

Saying oh yeah

Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone

A little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane

Two American kids doin' the best they can

C/F/Am/F

When I was young I knew everything

And she a punk who rarely took advice

Now i'm guilt stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor

Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice

Am/G/F

I can't be held responsible

Cause she was touching her face

I won't be held responsible

She fell in love in the first place

C/F/Am/F

For the life of me I cannot remember

What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise

For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins

We were merely freshmen

C/F/Am/F

My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her

His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept

Now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor

Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he says

We've tried to wash our hands of all of this

We never talk of our lacking relationships

And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor

We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say

Pre/Chorus

EA 

Let me run with you tonight 

I'll take you on a moonlight ride

There's someone I used to see 

But she don't give a damn for me

E-B-E-A

But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint

And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud

E-D-A

And you don't know how it feels. 

You don't know how it feels to be me

People come, people go 

some grow young, some grow cold

I woke up in between a memory and a dream

CHORUS

My old man was born to rock he's still tryin' to beat the clock

Think of me what you will I've got a little space to fill

CHORUS

Repeat last line

[Instrumental GCDAm]

C-D-Am-G

So, so you think you can tell,

Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.

D-Am-C-G

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail, a smile from a veil,

Do you think you can tell?

C-D-Am-G

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts,

Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change,

D-Am-C-G

And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

[Instrumental]

C-D-Am-G

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

D-Am-C-G

Running over the same old ground. What have we found?

The same old fears. Wish you were here!

[Instrumental]

E9 A9 CBAGF#AD 

She packed my bags last night pre-flight

Zero hour 9:00 a.m.

And I'm gonna be high

As a kite by then

I miss the Earth so much I miss my wife

It's lonely out in space

On such a timeless flight

hold G C to A9

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh, no, no, no

I'm a rocket man

Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh, no, no, no

I'm a rocket man

Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids

In fact it's cold as hell

And there's no one there to raise them

If you did

And all this science

I don't understand

It's just my job five days a week

A rocket man

A rocket man

CHORUS

D Cadd9   G              Cadd9    G

I seem to recognize your face

Haunting familiar, yet I cant seem to place it

Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name

Lifetimes are catchin' up with me

C        A               C

All these changes taking place

 A                  C

I wish i’d seen the place

   A             Em

But no-one’s ever taken me

CHORUS

D          Cadd9         G     Cadd9 G

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

D Cadd9   G              Cadd9   G

I swear I recognise your breath

Memories, like fingerprints are slowly raising

Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former

It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf

C            A               C

I changed by not changing at all

     A                C

Small town predicts my fate

  A                       Em

Perhaps that's what no one wants to see

D      Cadd9   G           Cadd9    G

I just want to scream, "hello!"

My god, it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return

But now here you are and here I am

Hearts and thoughts they fade away

CHORUS

G Em D C G

Almost heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the trees

Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

G D Em C | G D C G

Country roads, take me home To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather 'round her

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky

Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

CHORUS

Em D G

I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me

C G D

The radio reminds me of my home far away

Em F C 

Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'

D D7

That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

CHORUS

G C D

 Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

E D C G

So make the best of this test, and don't ask why

It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

G E G D G

It's something unpredictable

But in the end, it's right

I hope you had the time of your life

G C D

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind

Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time

E D C G

Tattoos of memories, and dead skin on trial

For what it's worth, it was worth all the while

CHORUS

Am E7 G D F C Dm E7

On a dark desert highway Cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas Rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"

Then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say

F C E7 Am

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place Such a lovely face

F C Dm E7

Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted She got the Mercedes Benz

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember Some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain "Please bring me my wine"

He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here Since 1969"

And still those voices are calling from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place. Such a lovely face

They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling The pink champagne on ice

And she said, 'We are all just prisoners here Of our own device"

And in the master's chambers They gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door

I had to find the passage back To the place I was before

"Relax, " said the night man "We are programmed to receive

You can check out any time you like But you can never leave"

CHORUS

Am C D (G) 

I hurt myself today To see if I still feel

I focus on the pain The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting

Try to kill it all away But I remember everything

(G) Am F C G

What have I become? My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away In the end

And you could have it all My empire of dirt

I will let you down I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair

Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear

You are someone else I'm still right here

CHORUS

(G) Am F C G

If I could start again A million miles away

I would keep myself I would find a way

G D F# Bm

So long ago I don't remember when

That's when they said I lost my only friend

Well they said she died easy of a broke heart disease

As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn

With the long broken arm of human law

Now it always seemed such a waste

She always had a pretty face

I wondered why she hung around this place

G D Em A

Hey-ey-ey

Come on try a little Nothing is forever

Got to be something better than in the middle

Me and Cinderella We put it all together

We can drive it home With one headlight

She said it's cold

It feels like independence day

And I can't break away from this parade

But there's got be an opening

Somewhere here in front of me

Through this maze of ugliness and greed

And I've seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge

Sayin' all is good and nothingness is dead

We run until she's out of breath

She ran until there's nothing left

She hit the end, just her window ledge

CHORUS

Well this place is old

It feels just like a beat up truck

I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn

Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes

This place is always such a mess

Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

I'm so alone

Feel just like somebody else

Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same

But somewhere here in between the city walls of dying dreams

I think her death, it must be killing me

CHORUS

GCD

Six o'clock on Friday evenin' mama doesn't know she's leavin'

Till she hears the sceen door slammin'

Rubber squealin' gears a jammin'

Local country station just a blarin' on the radio

Pick him up at seven and they're headin' to the rodeo

Mama's on the front porch screamin' out her warnin'

Girl you'd better get your red head back in bed before the mornin'

Nine o'clock the show is endin' but the fun is just beginnin'

She knows she's anticipatin' but she's gonna keep him waitin'

Grab a bite to eat and then they're headin' to the honky tonk

But loud crowds and line dancin' just ain't what they really want

Drive out to the boondocks and park down by the creek

And where it's George Strait till real late and dancion' cheek to cheek

CHORUS

(G) Ten till twelve is wine and dancing midnight starts the hard romancin'                                C

(C) One o'clock that truck is rocking (G) two is comin' still no stoppin'

(D) Break to check the clock at three they're right on where they wanna be

(G) And four o'clock get up get goin' five o'clock that rooster's crowin' yeah

CHORUS

(G) Six o'clock on Saturday her folks don't know he's on his way

The stalls are clean the horses fed they say she's grounded till she's dead

(D) And here he comes around the bend slowing down she's jumping in

(G) Hey mom your daughter's gone and there they go again

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner

Sometimes I feel like my only friend

Is the city I live in, the city of angels

Lonely as I am, together we cry

I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion

I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am

She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy

Well, I never worry, now that is a lie

I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day

Take me to the place I love Take me all the way

I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day

Take me to the place I love Take me all the way

Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there

It's hard to believe that I'm all alone

At least I have her love, the city, she loves me

Lonely as I am, together we cry

Chorus

(Under the bridge downtown)

Is where I drew some blood

(Under the bridge downtown)

I could not get enough

(Under the bridge downtown)

Forgot about my love

(Under the bridge downtown)

I gave my life away

Sometimes I feel the fear of Uncertainty stinging clear

And I, can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear

Take the wheel and steer

It's driven me before and seems to have a vague

Haunting mass appeal

But lately I'm beginning to find that I

Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there, I'll be there

So, if I Decide to waiver my Chance to be one of The hive

Will I choose water over wine And hold my own and drive? Aah ah ooo

It's driven me before and it seems to be the way

That everyone else gets around

But lately I'm beginning to find that when

I drive myself my light is found

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there

With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings

I'll be there I'll be there

Would you choose water over wine? Hold the wheel and drive

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there

With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there I'll be there

Hello I've waited here for you Everlong

Tonight, I throw myself into And out of the red

Out of her head, she sang

Come down and waste away with me Down with me

Slow, how you wanted it to be I'm over my head

Out of her head, she sang

And I wonder When I sing along with you

If everything could ever be this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when She sang

Breathe out So I can breathe you in

Hold you in And now

I know you've always been

Out of your head Out of my head, I sang

And I wonder When I sing along with you

If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

She sang

And I wonder x2

If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

A-D-A-E-D-E-A

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand

Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand

Life is good today, life is good today

Well, the plane touched down just about three o'clock

And the city's still on my mind

Bikinis and palm trees danced in my head

I was still in the baggage line

Concrete and cars are their own prison bars like this life I'm living in

But the plane brought me farther

I'm surrounded by water

And I'm not going back again

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand

Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand

Life is good today, life is good today

D-A-E-A

Adiós and vaya con Dios Yeah I'm leaving GA

And if it weren't for Tequila and pretty senoritas

I'd have no reason to stay 

Adiós and vaya con Dios Yeah I'm leaving GA

Gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one And grab my guitar and play

Four days flew by like a drunk Friday night As the summer drew to an end

They can't believe that I just couldn't leave And I bid adieu to my friends

My bartender she's from the islands Her body's been kissed by the sun

And coconut replaces the smell of the bar I don't know if it's her or the Rum

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand

Life is good today, life is good today

D-A-E-A

Adiós and vaya con Dios A long way from GA

Yes and all the muchachas they call me Big Poppa When I throw pesos their way

Adiós and vaya con Dios A long way from GA

Someone do me a favor and pour me some Jäger And I'll grab my guitar and play

Adiós and vaya con Dios Going home now to stay

Senoritas don't care-o when there's no dineroYeah, I got no money to stay

Adiós and vaya con Dios Going home now to stay GO!

And put my ass in a lawn chair Toes in the clay

Not a worry in the world a PBR on the way Life is good today Life is good today

Drop D | Capo 3 | D G A 

Go to sleep you little babe Go to sleep you little babe 

Your mama's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay

Didn't leave nobody but the baby

Go to sleep you little babe Go to sleep you little babe

Everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn

Didn't leave nobody but the baby

In constant sorrow...all through his days...

I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my day

I bid farewell to old Kentucky The place where I was born and raised

(The place where he was born and raised)

For six long years I've been in trouble No pleasures here on earth I found

For in this world I'm bound to ramble I have no friends to help me now

(He has no friends to help him now)

It's fare thee well my old lover I never expect to see you again

For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad Perhaps I'll die upon this train

(Perhaps he'll die upon this train)

You can bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay

Then you may learn to love another While I am sleeping in my grave

(While he is sleeping in his grave)

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face, you'll never see no more

But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore

(He'll meet you on God's golden shore)

Go to sleep you little babe  Go to sleep you little babe

You and me and the Devil makes three

Don't need no other lovin' baby

Go to sleep you little babe Go to sleep you little babe 

Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones

And be my ever-lovin' baby

B E F# | F# for verse

Red, red wine goes to my head

Makes me forget that I still need her so

Red, red wine, it's up to you

All I can do I've done

Memories won't go, memories won't go

I'd have sworn that with time

Thoughts of you leave my head

I was wrong, now I find

Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine, stay close to me

Don't let me be alone

It's tearing apart my blue heart

SOLO (1st time only)

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine

You keep me rockin' all of the time

Red red wine, you make me feel so grand

I feel a million dollar when you're just in my hand

Red red wine, you make me feel so sad

Any time I see you go, it make me feel bad

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine

You keep me rockin'...

Red, red wine, it's up to you

All I can do I've done

Memories won't go, memories won't go

2ND END: 

Red, red wine goes to my head

Makes me forget that I still need her so

still need her so

Country music singers

Have always been a real close family

But lately some of my kinfolks

Have disowned a few others and me

I guess it's because

I kinda changed my direction

Lord, I guess I went and broke their family tradition

They get on me and want to know

Hank, why do you drink?

Hank, why do you roll smoke?

Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?

Over and over

Everybody makes my prediction

So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on

An old family tradition

I am very proud

Of my daddy's name

Although his kind of music

And mine ain't exactly the same

Stop and think it over

Put yourself in my position

If I get stoned and sing all night long

It's a family tradition

So don't ask me

Hank, why do you drink?

Hank, why do you roll smoke?

Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?

If I'm down in a honky-tonk

And some ole slick's trying to give me friction

I'll say leave me alone

I'm singing all night long

It's a family tradition

Lordy, I have loved some ladies

And I have loved Jim Beam

And they both tried to kill me in 1973

When that doctor asked me

"Son, how did you get in this condition?"

I said, "Hey, Sawbones

I'm just carrying on an ole family tradition"

So don't ask me CHORUS

Capo 5 | C G/B Am F C F C G

Seh, seh, seh I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

Oba observing the 'ypocrites

As they would mingle with the good people we meet

Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost Along the way

In this great future, you can't forget your past

So dry your tears, I seh

No, woman, no cry No, woman, no cry

'Ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears No, woman, no cry

Said, said, said, I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire lights

As it was log wood burnin' through the night

Then we would cook cornmeal porridge

Of which I'll share with you 

My feet is my only carriage

And so I've got to push on through But while I'm gone

Everything's gonna be alright X8

CHORUS

I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire lights

As it was log wood burnin' through the night

Then we would cook cornmeal porridge

Of which I'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage

And so I've got to push on through But while I'm gone

CHORUS

AGD

  Leavin' home, out on the road I've been down before

Ridin' along on this big ol' jet plane, I've been thinkin' about my home

But my love light seems so far away and I feel like it's all been done

Somebody's tryin' to make me stay, you know I've got to be movin' on

GDA

Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner

Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Goodbye to all my friends at home, goodbye to people I've trusted

I've got to go out and make my way, I might get rich, you know I might get busted

But my heart keeps calling me backwards as I get on the seven oh seven (707)

Ridin' high, I got tears in my eyes, you know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven

CHORUS

Touchin' down in New England town,  feel the heat comin' down

I've got to keep on keepin' on, you know the big wheel keeps a spinnin' around

And I'm goin' with some hesitation, you know that I can surely see

That I don't want to get caught up in any of that funky shit goin' down in the city

CHORUS

G-C-D-G

And if you take my heart. Don't leave the smallest part

I've no need to live if you're to come up gone.

And as my life turns to a song. And if and when I treat you wrong

No I never want to hurt our family

And I would give up everything. No this is not just about me

And I don't know a plainer way to say it Babe

And they may pay us off in fame. Though that is not why we came

And I know well and good that won't heal our hearts

C-G-D-C-G

We came for salvation. We came for family

We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away

We came to break the bad. We came to cheer the sad

We came to leave behind the world a better way

Now if I'm walkin' through the rain and I hear you call my name

I will break into a run without a pause 

And if your love laughs at your dreams, Well it's not as bad as it seems

Either way one of them has got to go

And if you take of my soul, you can still leave it whole

With the pieces of you own you leave behind

CHORUS

And I would give up everything and if you were to come up clean

And see you shine so bright in a world of woe

And they may pay us off in fame but that is not why we came

And if it compromises truth then we will go

CHORUS

Bf-F-C-G-Ef-Bf-F | 11-33-66

There was a decorated general with A heart of gold, 

that likened him to All the stories he told 

Of past battles, won and lost, and Legends of old a seasoned veteran in His own time

On the battlefield, he gained Respectful fame 

with many medals Of bravery and stripes to his name 

He grew a beard as soon as he couldTo cover the scars on his face And always urged his men on

But on the eve of a great battle With the infantry in dream 

The old general tossed in his sleep

And wrestled with its meaning He awoke from the night Just to tell what he had seen And walked slowly out of his tent

All the men held tall with their Chests in the air, 

with courage in Their blood and a fire in their stare 

It was a grey morning and they all Wondered how they would fare 

Till the old general told them to go home…and he said…

I have seen the others And I have discovered That this fight is not worth fighting And I've seen their mothers And I will no other To follow me where I'm going

So, take a shower, shine your shoes You got no time to lose

You are young men you must be living 

Take a shower, shine your shoes You got no time to lose 

You are young men you must be living Go now you are forgiven

But the men stood fast with their Guns on their shoulders 

not knowing What to do with the contradicting orders 

The general said he would do his own Duty but would extend it no further 

The men could go as they pleased

But not a man moved, their eyes gazed straight ahead

Till one by one They stepped back and not a word was said

And the old general was left with his Own words echoing in his head

He then prepared to fight

CHORUS

Go now you are forgiven (Repeated)

Capo 4 Em G D C

It's going down, I'm yelling timber You better move, you better dance

Let's make a night you won't remember I'll be the one you won't forget

The bigger they are, the harder they fall

These big-iddy boys are dig-gidy dogs

I have 'em like Miley Cyrus, clothes off

Twerking in their bras and thongs, timber

Face down, booty up, timber

That's the way we like to–what?–timber

I'm slicker than an oil spill

She say she won't, but I bet she will, timber

Swing your partner 'round and 'round

End of the night, it's going down

One more shot, another round

End of the night, it's going down

Swing your partner 'round and 'round

End of the night, it's going down

One more shot, another round

End of the night, it's going down

CHORUS

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane

Nah, it's just me, ain't a damn thing changed

Live in hotels, swing on planes

Blessed to say, money ain't a thing

Club jumping like LeBron now, Volí

Order me another round, homie

We about to clown. Why? 'Cause it's about to go down

Swing your partner 'round and 'round

End of the night, it's going down

One more shot, another round

End of the night, it's going down

Swing your partner 'round and 'round

End of the night, it's going down

One more shot, another round

End of the night, it's going down

CHORUS

G-D-C | Tuned ½ Down - Blue GTR

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah

Some call me the gangster of love

Some people call me Maurice ‘cause I speak of the pompitous of love

People talk about me baby, say I'm doing you wrong

We'll don't you worry baby, don't worry. Cause I'm right here at home.

Cause I'm a picker. I’m a grinner I'm a lover. And I'm a sinner

I play my music in the sun I'm a joker I'm a smoker

I'm a midnight toker, I sure don't want to hurt no one

Cause I'm a picker. I’m a grinner I'm a lover. And I'm a sinner

I play my music in the sun I'm a joker I'm a smoker

I'm a midnight toker, I get my lovin' on the run

Life is one big party when you're still young

But who's gonna have your back when it's all done

It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun

Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run

Looking back shorty always I mention

Said me not giving her much attention

She was there through my incarceration

I wanna show the nation my appreciation

Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel

Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby

Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel

Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady

You're a queen and so you should be treated

Though you never get the lovin' that you needed

Could have left, but I called and you heeded

Begged and I pleaded, mission completed

Mama said that I and I dissed the program

Not the type to mess around with your emotion

But the feeling that I have for you is so strong

Been together so long and this could never be wrong

Angel Chorus

You're the cutest thing

That I ever did see

I really love your peaches

Want to shake your tree

Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time

Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time

JOKER CHORUS
